SECTION ____.  Section 33.091(d), Education Code, is amended to read as follows:

(d)  The league shall adopt rules for the annual administration of a steroid testing program under which high school students participating in an athletic competition sponsored or sanctioned by the league are tested at multiple times throughout the year for the presence of steroids in the students' bodies. The testing program may be administered only if funds are available as provided by Subsection (f) and must:

(1)  require the random testing of [a statistically significant number of] high school students in this state who participate in athletic competitions sponsored or sanctioned by the league;

(2)  provide for the selection of specific students described by Subdivision (1) for testing through a process that randomly selects students [from a single pool consisting of all students] who participate in any activity for which the league sponsors or sanctions athletic competitions;

(3)  be administered at a statistically significant number [approximately 30 percent] of the high schools in this state that participate in athletic competitions sponsored or sanctioned by the league;

(4)  provide for a process for confirming any initial positive test result through a subsequent test conducted as soon as practicable after the initial test, using a sample that was obtained at the same time as the sample used for the initial test;

(5)  require the testing to be performed only by an anabolic steroid testing laboratory with a current certification from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, the World Anti-Doping Agency, or another appropriate national or international certifying organization; and

(6)  provide for a period of ineligibility from participation in an athletic competition sponsored or sanctioned by the league for any student with a confirmed positive test result or any student who refuses to submit to random testing.
